There is always gonna be an excuse. That my friend is why you can do all the testing you want. BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE OUT THERE WITH A DAMN EXCUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So why isn't the guy that said that reputable>??? Is his post count not high enough>??? He wasn't happy with the output of one blower, so he swtiched and made more power. Pretty simple. If he is a liar(I don't think he is) then I am sorry. -Mat-

WTF -mat- your sitting here jumping on my *** because i dont believe some half *** test between the two. in all due honesty the KB will more than likely beat the 112 at the strip running a high number of boost if it stays together long enough. i will run no more than 16 psi ever due to reliability reasons. i can only get 91 octane so running high numbers from any supercharger isnt going to benefit me. all im saying is that i think all of the aftermarket blowers are going to be about close, the 112 i feel is going to be stronger for streetlight to streetlight. you guys are childish in not letting me think that.

You are childish for taking cheap shots at Kenne Bell!

if it stays together long enough
You can think what you. But don't you understand that the majority of people don't agree with you>??? I am not trying to be a ***** or change the way you think. I am just offering you information. If you don't believe it or think it is BS then fine. I am still gonna sleep tonight. -Mat-

you know why the majority of people disagree with me? because the majority dont have either works blower, and most have the KB, and most people defend what they own regardless of if its true or not.

Seems like a few Works guys don't agree with you either. -Mat-

well to be honest it would be nice to have someone come in and show some solid numbers, i know someone did on another site, but some comparitive numbers, like 14 lbs with eaton 14lbs with the 112 and the KB. to me they need to drop the price of the 112 since it seems like a 30 hp gain and its way more than the kb
Puts out a hell of a lot more then 30HP. Whomever told you it didnt, doesnt know what they are talking about.

You are right. I don't think anyone ever said that though. -Mat-

A twin screw IS in a different league.

A Works 112 does pull some amazing torque #'s. However, most of the people seen running them never had a built motor and could boost them up to 18 psi. This of course will change once Dale slaps his back on. He nailed 605#'s with 15-16 psi on a stock block/head truck.

Now a KB can build some power. Any of these blowers are street blowers. I dont know where people came up with the idea that a twin screw isnt streetable. Hell, there isnt one blower out there that isnt streetable. Even a Procharger F1/F2 is streetable and its a centrifugal.

Now, i dont believe a 112 can obliviate a twin screw in torque. With the volume or air a KB or W140 can put out, they can crank on some torque. The difference is comparing the TQ curve.

I only know one person right now who could do back to back comparisons to a Eaton, KB, Works 140 and a KB. Dale does have access to all 4 if George still offers to let Dale bolt on his KB. The question is, could you convince Dale to do this test?

let me see if i can sum this up, JDM told me and another local down here, that we would more than likely see about 20-30 hp over what we have now. hmm so i said WTF let me call swanson, he said the same thing 30 or so HP at 14lbs over the eaton. so at this point i was in shock, KB said 50, modularmadness said about 30ish, JL said about 35 ish. all depending on the tune, well guess what, i cant get good fuel like most of you other guys can so running anything above about 14 is risky. the blower in question here is the KB.

Send a 140 my way for a few weeks. I would have no problem what so ever doing some testing. Granted I wouldn't be able to do the testing a guy with a built motor could, but I could try my best. -Mat-
